He's just this raging crybaby beating people to hell and back because he's sad
At least the Batman: The Animated Series showed him doing actual charity work and helping people, while also whaling on the Joker and other costumed ne'er-do-wells

Batman is constantly getting confused as to why someone would call him a "rich privileged asshole" or why bad guys would look up to him, and there's an AOC-esque politician who tells him he should donate to charity like his dad did
The rich, emo vigilante barely stops any crime but his failures make his vigilantism even more necessary as the city falls into chaos

That was a feature of the most recent Batman movie as well. The Wayne family donated lots of money but that does not solve capitalism so it never actually fixes anything.

I remember watching it and thinking that Bats sure had some Rittenhouse energy in some of the early scenes.
